Book excerpt: A globe-trotting, behind-the-scenes look at the dazzling world of flowers and the fascinating industry it has created. Award-winning author Amy Stewart takes readers on an around-the-world, behind-the-scenes look at the flower industry and how it has sought—for better or worse—to achieve perfection. She tracks down the hybridizers, geneticists, farmers, and florists working to invent, manufacture, and sell flowers that are bigger, brighter, and sturdier than anything nature can provide. There's a scientist intent on developing the first genetically modified blue rose; an eccentric horticultural legend who created the most popular lily; a breeder of gerberas of every color imaginable; and an Ecuadorean farmer growing exquisite roses, the floral equivalent of a Tiffany diamond. And, at every turn she discovers the startling intersection of nature and technology, of sentiment and commerce.

Download or read book Roses from Kenya written by Megan A. Styles and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenya supplies more than 35 percent of the fresh-cut roses and other flowers sold annually in the European Union. This industry—which employs at least 90,000 workers, most of whom are women—is lucrative but enduringly controversial. More than half the flowers are grown near the shores of Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake northwest of Nairobi recognized as a Ramsar site, a wetland of international importance. Critics decry the environmental side effects of floriculture, and human rights activists demand better wages and living conditions for workers. In this rich portrait of Kenyan floriculture, Megan Styles presents the point of view of local workers and investigates how the industry shapes Kenyan livelihoods, landscapes, and politics. She investigates the experiences and perspectives of low-wage farmworkers and the more elite actors whose lives revolve around floriculture, including farm managers and owners, Kenyan officials, and the human rights and environmental activists advocating for reform. By exploring these perspectives together, Styles reveals the complex and contradictory ways that rose farming shapes contemporary Kenya. She also shows how the rose industry connects Kenya to the world, and how Kenyan actors perceive these connections. As a key space of encounter, Lake Naivasha is a synergistic center where many actors seek to solve broader Kenyan social and environmental problems using the global flows of people, information, and money generated by floriculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study used a commodity subsector analysis to detail the U.S. cut flower industry. Industry conduct, structure and performance were evaluated in an attempt to discern where the industry is at present and to suggest options for future direction. Ways in which conduct and performance could be improved were outlined, and present and potential problems of the industry were explored. Following a review of the literature on the commodity subsector analysis methodology, the horticultural characteristics of various cut flower species, as they may affect the marketing of product, were described. Supply considerations were then addressed. Trends have been for fewer domestic growers, each responsible for greater production, and for U.S. supply increasingly becoming partly the responsibility of foreign operators. Colombia accounted for 90 percent of U.S. cut flower imports in 1980; the Dutch and the Israelis are both contributing greater volumes as well. Consumption patterns were reviewed. Traditional retail florists account for 90 percent of sales dollars, but mass marketers are gaining in importance. Chief occasions for consumption remain funerals and holidays. An analysis of the retail demand for cut flower arrangements suggested an inelastic demand was operating. Due to the assumed inelastic nature of cut flower supply, flexibilities were used in the study of wholesale demand for particular species; inflexible price coefficients were generally found. An examination of commodity price patterns showed prices to peak near holidays; summer months typically account for the price lows. Market channels for the 30,000 retail florists, 2,000 wholesalers, 3,900 flower farms and other less traditional marketers were delineated. Growers appear to be more concentrated than other groups. Vertical integration is prevalent, as many firms attempt to bypass established middlemen. Subsector behavior and performance were analyzed. Pricing, value added, profits, product loss, the accuracy with which supply offerings match demand preferences, risk, the competitive environment, conflict and issues causing change were among the topics discussed. The dissertation concluded with an outlook toward the future characteristics of the subsector, given its pattern of evolution, and a discussion of the present and potential problem areas in the industry.
